General advisory
The train’s tracking system relies on cellular signal, which is not always available, and the times displayed may not reflect delays or time recovered along the route. Station layovers can also be reduced to allow the train to recover some of the lost time. VIA Rail recommends that passengers arrive at the station well in advance of the estimated departure time. For arrival and departure times, please contact our customer centre at 1-888-VIA-RAIL (1-888 842-7245), or dial 711 on your TTY device and request to be relayed to 1-888-842-7245 (for persons who are deaf, hard-of-hearing, or who have speech disabilities).
